What does kpps mean?

Kpps is the abbreviation of kilo point per second. Thus, the performance of the different scanners (galvanometer scanners, graphic projectors) which are on the market can be compared. The higher the scan speed of a graphic projector the higher the quality of the projected image. If the projected image “flickers”, then it is too “big” for the existing scanner, that means it has too many picture points and this scanner is not able to represent it properly. To make the performance of the scanner comparable ILDA developed a test pattern. This test pattern is used to determine among other things the exact scanner speed. The higher the number of 8° (!!!), for example 60 kpps @ 8°, the better the scanner and the better the projected image. 80 kpps @ 4° is in turn a worse achievement. Therefore you should always compare at 8° with the test pattern of ILDA.
